Function
Port 1 – Internal. Radio button allows scanner input/output on Port 1 (scan key or trigger). Port 2 –
Output is enabled when COM1 is enabled on this port. Port 3 - Output is enabled when COM1 is
enabled on this port.
Default: Enabled. If "Send Key Messages (WEDGE)" is checked, the Scanner Driver is in "Key
Message" (also known as "character") mode which sends the bar codes to the application with the
focus as keystrokes. All data scanned is converted to keystrokes and sent to the active window. If
"Send Key Messages (WEDGE)" is not checked, the Scanner Driver is in "Block" mode which
buffers the data that can be read by an application from the WDG: device through the OS or APIs.
Note that this latter method is significantly faster than using "Wedge". Even if Send Key Messages
is enabled ("key mode"), the data is still available using the scanner APIs ("block mode"). If two or
more applications are reading the data in Block mode, ClearBuf must be set to Off so data is not
erased when read. Please refer to the "CE API Programming Guide" for details on scanner APIs.
Default: Enabled. Functionality of the internal scanner driver engine includes audible tones on good
scan (at the maximum db supported by the speaker) and failed scan. If enabled, Good Scan / Bad
Scan Vibration provides a tactile response on a scan event.
Disable this parameter when good scan/bad scan sounds are to be handled by alternate means e.g.
application-controlled sound files. Rejected bar codes generate a bad scan beep. In some cases, the
receipt of data from the scanner triggers a good scan beep from an external scanner, and then the
rejection of scanned bar code data by the processing causes a bad scan beep from the MX7 on the
same data.
The default setting is Enabled. Integrated imager may use illumination LEDs when scanning a bar
code.
Default is Off. Options are Off, Auto(matic) and Man(ual)
